1970 Map of Whiting Bayou

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mississippi River oxbows and bottomlands dominate this 1970 landscape, where the shifting border between East Carroll Parish and Issaquena County follows an old river channel. The settlement of Tallula sits protected behind a massive Levee system that snakes across the southern portion of the sheet. Rural life is anchored by several local congregations, including Mt Sinai Ch, St Peters Ch, and Woodland Ch. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the Tallula Farms Landing Strip indicates a transition in local transportation and agricultural logistics. Notable water bodies like Bear Lake, Goose Lake, and Moon Lake fill the interior bends, while specialized land use is evident at the Fish Farm and the Tank Farm near the northern boundary. The intricate drainage network of Whiting Bayou and Steele Bayou defines the remaining wooded wetlands.
